There article in question (remember the article?) was predicting the future of DB2 for LUW, not DB2 for z/OS. Yes they are separate products, but they are reasonably close at the DML level.

The fact that you didn't make any reference to DB2 for LUW and the article focused on that product, is the basic problem with your analysis. Received on Thu Jul 28 2005 - 22:26:23 CDT
